Morning Robot: Demi Lovato, Jerry Lewis, Arnold Schwarzenegger

Happy Tuesday, and wow, do we have a lot of big news for you today! First, it has been revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger, who recently split with Maria Shriver, fathered a child outside of his marriage more than 10 years ago! Jerry Lewis has announced his decision to retire from the Muscular Dystrophy Association Telethon, which he has hosted for many years. Lastly we discuss Demi Lovato’s latest Twitter pic, which shows the teenage star in a skimpy bikini!

It did seem strange when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver publicly announced their split. The couple had been married for 25 years, and they did not reveal their reasons for the split. However, it has now been revealed that Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered a child outside of his marriage, more than 10 years ago. Schwarzenegger has said in a statement, “After leaving the governor’s office I told my wife about this event, which occurred over a decade ago…I understand and deserve the feelings of anger and disappointment among friends and family.” The former bodybuilder continued, saying, “I have apologized to Maria, my children, and my family. I am truly sorry.” What are your opinions on this? Do you think that politicians and celebrities owe the public an apology for mistakes they make in their personal life?

In other news, Jerry Lewis has announced plans for retirement from the MDA telethon, saying that it is “time for a new telethon era.” I remember watching Jerry Lewis as a kid, and how he had such great energy, even as he aged. The 85-year-old fundraiser elaborates, “As a labor of love, I’ve hosted the annual Telethon since 1966 and I’ll be making my final appearance on the show this year by performing my signature song, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone.’” Lewis has been suffering from various problems in recent years, including heart conditions, a back condition, and pulmonary fibrosis. The last telethon with him is scheduled for September 4.

Demi Lovato is back in the news, after posting what some may call a “scandalous” photo, wherein the star is posing in a white bikini. Lovato tweeted the pic, explaining, “I’ve been working so hard to get healthy and fit.. I can’t believe I’m about to do this but I’m so excited.” Lovato later tweeted, ““I never thought I’d ever feel confident enough to ever [do] that…“I’m excited how far I’ve come since being completely ashamed of my body.” Even though Demi Lovato has gotten a lot of criticism so far for posting this on Twitter, in my opinion, she was really brave to do so. Lovato isn’t stupid, and she must have anticipated criticism, but we all know that once you post something sexy on Twitter, people are gonna hate. Do you think the pic was too much? What are your thoughts?

It comes with no suprise that former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has fathered a child from household staff. He isn’t the first nor the last politician to do so. Remember John McCain fits the same catagory and a more shocking predecessor, the 1964, the also married former Governor, Paul B. Johnson Jr, of Mississippi fathered a child with his household staff during the Civil Rights movement and she was black.

Almost typical of powerful men (Governors, Politicians and Demi-Royalty) to take advantage of those they see as weak minded and of low society, such as the household staff (better known as house cleaners). This abuse of power goes far back in our American history.
